Seems too organised,stark and characterless. “I preferred it the way it was”. The clutter and randomness of the previous two summed up both the TARDIS and The Doctor’s characters sublimely . It could do with a touch of moodiness about it. However, “everything changes” and being able to adapt is the reason why all of us can keep talking about the programme after all these years. Best go now,sit in a mood filled room and be childish.Works for me!

sorry to be somewhat grouchy . . . there are people who like this console but this is just completely off the rails for me. i think its awful… and quite honestly… i hate it. the old one was nice, it had glass floors and an awesome console that was just a little messy like the 11th doctor, it had warm lighting and felt like home rather than an aeroplane control panel, a boring grey console panel, light sabers in a tube and target practise along the walls of a storage shed. i understand they’re probably trying to bring back a little of the old doctors… but then theres just that weird modern twist that just clashes with everything and makes it unlikeable :/

First impressions, yuck. It looks like it’s been designed by an fan reminiscing the olden days of Doctor Who (archetype TARDIS, rubbish sets and all) with no taste in colour. I mean, look at the target-like lights with all the clashing colours and the sickly greenish lighting. The last TARDIS interior was fun, colourful and showed the scale of the interior/exterior difference. This is pretty cramped by comparison.

In 2005 Doctor Who finally got good and now Moffat seems to be determined to restore it back to the olden days of boring sets.

Sorry about the rant but thought this is the beginning of the end I’m afraid.

As an invading enemy often said, “Excellent!” The Classic TARDIS interior always had an alien feeling, while the 4th Doctor’s secondary control room looked too manmade, the 2005 TARDIS looked awful, and the 2010 one, while better than the 2005 version, was still not as great as the original. Kudos to whoever redesigned it this time around!

I really like this one. I have been waiting for them to get rid of the coral theme. I always wanted one like this. It has a modern sort of classic one, just not as boring like the classic console rooms. I cnat wait to see it.

well if you look at the bottom right of the pic there are stairs going down.

I like the new design very much, i personally think that the doctor has changed, from a light and happy doctor. with the bright tweed jacket. To a doctor who wears a more darker toned jacket, obviuosley losing Amy and Rory did alot to him, perhaps this is the result, a more darker doctor.

The Doctor was watching over us yesterday and made sure the world didn’t end!!!!!!! Also I preferred the previous TARDIS, I hope there’s a good explanation as to why it changed and it is explained properly instead of it just randomly changing in the episode. Love Jenna Louise Coleman but unfortunately there’s not going to be a 5inch figure. Hopefully they’ll make one in about 50 years when she is considered a classic and I will then be 64

I think they will, but for the shorter new series figures which I think are coming out sometime next year, since new series figures are going no longer going to be 5 inch which is daft, while the classic series figures will stay 5 inch.

Shouldn’t have looked before the episode, but WOW, it looks so much more creepy and wierd !

Alot less “homely”, it reminds me so much of the Peter Davison Tardis room.

Yeah I noticed the staircase too, probably a nod to the 11th Doctors original console room.

Off topic, but since there’s no new topic about the Daleks –

HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY DALEKS !!!! 😀

Cos 49 years ago today, part 1 of the very first ever Dalek story on Saturday 21st December 1963 was broadcast, with a Daleks manipulator arm [oh alright then, SINK PLUNGER !!] making an appearance menacing the 1st Doctors companion Barbra Wright played by the late Jaqueline Hill.
